	Experiments on EMMA have shown that with rapid acceleration (~10 turns) a linear non-scaling FFAG can accelerate through several integer tunes without detrimental effects on the beam [1]. Proton and ion applications such as hadron therapy will necessarily have a slower acceleration rate, so their feasibility depends on how harmful resonance crossing is in this regime. A simple and useful tool to answer such fundamental questions is the S-POD linear Paul trap at Hiroshima University, which can be set up to simulate the dynamics of a beam in an FFAG. We report here results of experiments to explore different resonance crossing speeds, quantify beam loss and study nonlinear effects. We also discuss the implications of these experimental results in terms of limits on acceptable acceleration rates and alignment errors. [1] S.Machida et al, Nature Physics, N8, 243-257 (2012)

Experiments on EMMA have shown that with rapid acceleration (~10 turns) a linear non-scaling FFAG can accelerate through several integer tunes without detrimental effects on the beam [1]. Proton and ion applications such as hadron therapy will necessarily have a slower acceleration rate, so their feasibility depends on how harmful resonance crossing is in this regime. A simple and useful tool to answer such fundamental questions is the S-POD linear Paul trap at Hiroshima University, which can be set up to simulate the dynamics of a beam in an FFAG. We report here results of experiments to explore different resonance crossing speeds, quantify beam loss and study nonlinear effects. We also discuss the implications of these experimental results in terms of limits on acceptable acceleration rates and alignment errors.
